"Great sushi restaurants serve fish that's so distractingly delicious you might forget your own phone number—but the best ones account for all of your senses. A night at Sushi Noz is as much about the cypress wood scent in your nostrils as it is the nigiri parading into your stomach. There are two different tastings offered here. At the Hinoki Counter, chef Noz runs the show (except on Saturdays), and in the Ash Room, a sous chef hands out uni flown in from Hokkaido and eel that's been smoked over bamboo leaves. If you’re not quite prepared to drop $550 on one of the city’s best omakase meals, head next door to Noz Market, where you’ll find a $185 tasting and a standing-room-only hand roll bar." - team infatuation

"This Upper East Side sushi temple has risen to two-star status. The omakase starts at $550." - Eater Staff
"Sushi Noz is an impossible-to-book Michelin two-star sushi counter in New York. Melanie Amaro witnessed a situation where customers refused to eat their sushi and insulted the chef by offering to buy him a pizza. Chef Nozomu Abe handled the situation with grace, firmly but politely insisting that the customer eat the sushi right away, demonstrating a cultural approach to conflict resolution in line with Japanese traditions." - Timothy DePeugh
"Ellen Hunter considers it the best sushi in New York City." - Michael He
